just wanted to make a small explanation: by Varda I do not want to imply that Elves had a matriarchal society just because they worshiped here, but that this kind of praise to a female shows they were not afraid or unwilling to accept females as leaders or as higher powers

as far as as the Easterlings and Southrons are concerned, I believe the fact they were under Sauron's control for so long is a reason why they could not develop
Gondor on the other hand benefited from its legacy dating back to the Second Age, and Rohan had definitely learned much from Gondor
